Residential Basement Water Extraction

When you have water in your basement—from flooding, plumbing leaks, broken appliances, etc.—you need immediate professional help. A delay in getting immediate help could mean costly or possibly permanent damage to electrical boxes, furnaces, personal belongings, and even the foundation of your home. And water that is not thoroughly removed may create the risk of a mold contamination, which can jeopardize not only your personal property, but your family’s health.

Flooding of your basement can occur in several ways. Water can enter from outside due to heavy rains, or trouble may start on the inside from an overflowing washing machine, broken water pipe, sewer backup, or other water emergency. And because different types of water create different levels of contamination, including health hazards, leave the cleanup to the professionals at WARREN RESTORATION. We have the training and expertise to do the job right with our methodical water-removal process:

Assess the damage. On arrival at your home, we take complete safety precautions, from wearing hazard gear to shutting down the electric power if necessary. We then determine the source of the flooding and take appropriate steps to stop the flow of moving water into your basement. And then we perform a full assessment of the damage.

Identify the water type. Depending on the source of the flooding, we will categorize the floodwater according to standards set by the IICRC and MICRO. Some water, such as from a toilet or sewer line, contains more contaminants than leakage from a burst water-line pipe. Once we determine the floodwater type, we develop an appropriate course of action.

Classify the type of flood. Flooding classification is based on the amount and extent of water damage—how much water has spread and been absorbed. For this step, we examine the walls and insulation, carpets, carpet pads, flooring, furniture, and more. We also look at surfaces, such as concrete, brick, or hardwood that require a specialized drying procedure.

Extract the water. Using portable and truck-mounted equipment, we extract the basement water directly into our trucks. We make certain it never touches another surface, and we dispose of it properly. And we also work quickly—the longer the water remains in your basement, the greater the damage incurred.

Dry the area. After the standing water has been extracted, we use high-powered air movers and fans, drying panels, and dehumidifiers to eliminate all moisture from the affected area. In favorable weather conditions, we let nature help by opening windows to take advantage of the sun and dry breezes, which speed the drying process. We place sensors that gauge humidity levels and temperatures, and check the readings on a return visit.

Clean the area. After all water is removed and the area is completely dry, we thoroughly clean and sanitize the basement. Areas susceptible to mold and mildew receive specialized cleaning and treatment. We even do HVAC cleaning and use HEPA-filter vacuums to reduce the number of airborne contaminants that pose a threat from mold.

Renovate your property. We take care with your belongings, and always strive to restore as many of them as possible to their original state. We will rebuild and renovate any areas of the structure of your home that received heavy damage from the basement floodwater. Our goal is to return your home to its pre-water-damage condition and make it safe for your family and possessions—and even your pets.

"Chris Smith, my plumber called Warren Restoration and literally within 45 minutes they were at my property. They took control of everything from removing the furniture, wet carpet, drywall, and baseboard. The company made my flood very easy to deal with, making sure they were on the property when the insurance adjuster came to view the damage. They took all the necessary photos and walked me through the process...

... I would highly recommend this company. From the Owner, Josh Warren to his employees, they were professional, respectful and extremely helpful. I am happy to say my property is dry and everything has been built back better than before the water problem. Thank you Warren Restoration!"
